After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Heat 93-85. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
